Santorini Blue by Panoramica

Greek island samples remixed into ambient downbeat electronica.

Santorini Blue is a Found Sound single, based on a 26 minute recording taken on the famous Greek island of Santorini.

The place was postcard perfect, but overrun with tourists and pushy salespeople, so we hired a couple of worn-out old bikes and headed for the hills.

After meeting up with a stray dog with a lame leg, we climbed up to Profitis Ilias, where we found an ugly military base - and a picturesque Monastery, guarded by an army of stray kittens.

We wandered outside, snapping photos, taking in the views and talking to the cats.

Santorini Blue appears on the Angry Rabbit compilation 'Apropos of Nothing'.

Native Wellingtonian Dan Smith produces ambient postcards of his life & travels.

The process of hacking and recomposing sonic artefacts creates memory triggers, which fold time and preserve the past.

Persevering through a cacophony of layered, jumbled observations, the listener is rewarded with a Zen experience, and blazing moments of extreme beauty.
